Suspect In High-Level WMD Smuggling Ring Disappears

[seemslikeadream]

Weekend Argus Saturday 11th September, 2004

A South African engineer implicated in an international nuclear smuggling network has vanished.

The disappearance of Johan Meyer comes as government officials continue to hold their cards close to their chest about their 'inquiries' into the network.

Refusing to comment 'in depth' about investigations into the syndicate allegedly supplying Libya, Iran and North Korea with materials for their nuclear programmes, officials would only say they were working closely with international agencies.

Meyer, who was arrested last week, 'disappeared' on Wednesday after the withdrawal of all charges against him in South Africa's Vanderbijlpark magistrate's court.

10 September - Block "I" offshore Equatorial Guinea's Bioko Island is to be
explored by Noble Energy, a Texan oil company deeply involved in the Central African
dictatorship. The Equatoguinean government has approved the exploration deal that opens
up a new block immediately adjacent to oil producing offshore block.

The Texan oil company's Chairman, Charles Davidson, in a statement today praised the
"excellent relationship with the government of Equatorial Guinea" as he announced the new
contract to explore Block "I" offshore Bioko Island. The block is to be explored in
cooperation with the Equatoguinean government and GEPetrol, a "state-owned company"
that is under the control of Equatorial Guinea's dictator Teodoro Obiang Nguema.

9. Network 'helped with nukes'

Makhudu Sefara


Johannesburg - Staff from a network of companies and engineers linked to a former apartheid nuclear programme are facing arrest.

Investigators are focusing on how they clandestinely helped Libya build its nuclear weapons programme - only to be caught unawares when the country abandoned the programme.

Sources this week said members of the black market nuclear cartel were left exposed after Libya announced that it had abandoned its programme and began co-operating with international agencies, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), by dismantling its programme.

Abdul Minty, chairperson of the SA Council for the Non-Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, on Friday narrowed the network to Libya - squashing speculation about North Korea and other countries' involvement.

Too bad Karl Rove blew their covers for political reasons.
